The film version is shorter than the soundtrack as it removes the instrumental break between the first chorus and second verse, as well as that between the second chorus and outro, and the final part of the outro.

This song is also heard on the DVD/Blu-Ray menu of the film.

Lyrics

[Sci-Twi]

I spent so much time searchin'

Lookin' for somethin' more

Diggin' holes too deep

And opening every door

And when you stand too close

Yeah, the picture's never clear

And when you look too far away

It all but disappears

[All]

And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, ah-oh-oh)

Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Sometimes the things you want

Are not the things you need

And it was right there in front of me

[instrumental break]

[Sunset Shimmer]

There was a time before

I didn't know where I belonged

I thought I needed more

And that I couldn't get along

[Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer]

But who I am

Was all I ever needed

And when I faced that test

I finally succeeded

[All]

And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, ah-oh-oh)

Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Sometimes the things you want

Are not the things you need

And it was right there in front of me

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

[Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer]

And it's all I'll ever need

[All]

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

[Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer]

And it was right there in front of me

[All]

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

[Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer]

And it's all I'll ever need

[All]

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

And it was right there in front of me-ee-ee

Oh oh oh

All this time

It was in front of me
